Celebrations of Death: The Anthropology of Mortuary Ritual 2 Revised edition
Metcalf, Peter (University of Virginia)
This revised edition of a cross-cultural study of rituals surrounding death has become a standard text in anthropology, sociology and religion. Part of its fascination is that in understanding other people's death rituals we are able to gain a better understanding of our own. The authors refer to a wide variety of examples, from different continents and epochs.
